 Packages should be built with the same C standard on all platforms
 for consistency and reproducability of issues. Inevitably, this
 will also be a problem on other platforms.
 
 gnu17 seems an overly recent choice for code as old as CVS. Ideally
 it should work on as many targets as possible. gnu99 is a good
 choice.
